List Transition

[Roy Tennant]

Dear Web4Lib Subscribers,
I am writing to let you know that this list has now transitioned from
WebJunction to the University of Notre Dame. To send messages to the
list you now send them to web4lib at listserv.nd.edu.

In this transition we have moved from the Mailman list management
software to LISTSERV [™]. Unfortunately this means any settings you
have created will be lost. However, I’m hopeful that you will find the
LISTSERV software easy to use to recreate the settings you wish to
have. When you first connect to http://listserv.nd.edu/ you will need
to create a password, but once having done that, and after confirming
it, you will be able to login and manage your account, including
resetting to get the list by digest if you wish.

I am also using this as an opportunity to establish a permanent domain
for this list, <http://web4lib.org/> which will is your one-stop
location to find information about the list and pointers to the
archive, etc. Only the list itself, and it's future archives, will be
hosted by Notre Dame. I am hosting the hub web site for the list,
including the legacy archives.

In closing, I want to thank the WebJunction staff for hosting the list
for a number of years. I can’t remember when I moved it there from UC
Berkeley, but it was well before I joined OCLC four and a half years
ago. We’ve done well at OCLC, but the opportunity to move to the
LISTSERV platform where Code4Lib is hosted proved too hard to resist.
Eric Morgan at Notre Dame has been very helpful. Thanks,
Roy Tennant
